Welcome to Lyrical Stanza!

Poetry asks us to slow down, think, and say what we cannot speak aloud. Profound communication elevates language to something more, something fiercely personal and communal simultaneously. Lyrical Stanza was created to celebrate that process. It provides a unique haven for anyone wishing to discover the art of poetry in a supportive and entertaining environment.

Lyrical Stanza began with a question. What would it be like to create a site that teaches poetry and celebrates its process? What if learning, writing, and sharing could all be encompassed in one creative process? From that idea, this website was born.

Lyrical Stanza is also concerned with connection. The website invites writers to approach poetry on their terms. Whether one submits a work, peruses examples, or discovers how a poem functions, the process is intuitive and inviting.

This project started as a personal capstone but was always intended to be shared. It is a space for growth and creative confidence. It was motivated by believing that everyone has a voice worth being heard. Lyrical Stanza makes poetry approachable and alive with a clean design, targeted lessons, and a dash of tradition and expression.

Whether you are a beginner or coming back to poetry with new eyes, Lyrical Stanza can help. Peruse the tutorials, create something new, and voice your opinion in an ardent community that knows the value of words. Start your poetic journey here.
